Wegner, Anisfield, and Pilloff (1998) had participants putt a golf ball, and gave a specific instruction not to overshoot the hole.

was never mentioned.
b) All participants showed an increased likelihood of undershooting relative to a condition where overshooting
was never mentioned.
c) Participants holding digits in mind showed an increased likelihood of overshooting relative to a condition in
which overshooting was never mentioned.

which overshooting was never mentioned.
